Prize Money: $1,530

ROOM TO BREATHE (6) was well supported last time and gave a sight after a strong early split but weakened late to finish a 2.25 lengths fourth (19.51) over 350m at Healesville. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and can bounce back. ESPECIAL HUGO (4) was below best at his last start when 6th at Shepparton following a second place finish (25.49) there two back. Key player if finds best. MONUMENT (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.29) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. SALT SPECKLE (8) is a last-start placegetter when at the top of betting - in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.29) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Ended last campaign with a eighth (25.19) in a GR 5 at Sale and returns after a four months break. Has started fresh up three times for a win and a placing. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3 length sixth (25.56) over 450m at Shepparton. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (19.51) over 350m at Healesville. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.
